If you're a newspaper or magazine or cable news outlet planning to do one of those "Trump country" investigative pieces, how about you investigate the massive voter suppression of African Americans instead?
I'm looking at you @nytimes.

Instead of puff pieces about racists, how about deep dives into the disenfranchisement of black voters in Georgia, Native Americans in North Dakota, Latinos in Kansas and college students nationwide?
In fairness there has been some stellar reporting from the @nytimes about voter suppression.

Here's one of @AsteadWesley's pieces on the situation in Georgia leading up to the election:

And here's @MaggieAstor's great work on the complexity around the attempted disenfranchisement of Native Americans in North Dakota
